Zachary Ware added the comment: 1) This was due to a typo. The release of Python 3.4 saw the introduction of new introspection information on many C-implemented functions thanks to Argument Clinic (see PEP 436, I think it is). As part of that (still ongoing) transition, the default doctrings for type slots like __ge__ were given Argument Clinic-style signatures, and __ge__ had a typo. I fixed that typo on Friday (actually prompted by your previous issue about len's bad signature). 2) That marker now shows that all proceeding arguments are positional-only. We should probably make sure that is well documented somewhere, possibly in the tutorial. 3) This was also due to the typo I fixed. -- nosy: +zach.ware ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21314 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue9291] mimetypes initialization fails on Windows because of non-Latin characters in registry
Tim Golden added the comment: Another version of the patch: this one, in addition to removing the unnecessary encodes, also does the check for extensions before attempting to open the registry key, and narrows down the try-catch block to just the attempt to read the Content Type value. This does mean that if any process is unable to read HKCR or its subkeys the mimetypes.init will fail. Frankly, I can't see how that could happen, but if anyone feels strongly enough I can add extra guards so it fails silently. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34983/issue9291.8.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9291 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ezio Melotti added the comment: Have you considered how this is going to change if/when PEP 462 will be implemented? AFAIU PEP 462 suggests that commits happen directly from the bug tracker (or something equivalent), so we will likely start to add the NEWS entry there as well. Assuming this will happen and it's not too far away in the future, it might be wiser to wait or move toward a system that will make the switch to PEP 462 easier.

[issue21297] csv.skipinitialspace only skips spaces, not whitespace in general
Daniel Andersson added the comment: No, multiple spaces are ignored as advertised (according to actual tests; not just reading the code), but only spaces (U+0020) and not e.g. tabs (U+0009), which are also included in the term whitespace, along with several other characters. In light of your followup question, the internal comment at `Modules/_csv.c`, line 639: /* ignore space at start of field */ could perhaps be clarified to say spaces instead of space, but the code context makes it quite clear, and it does not face the users anyway. The main point of this issue is meant to be the wording in the module docstring and the official docs regarding whitespace contra space. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21297 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue21315] email._header_value_parser does not recognise in-line encoding changes
New submission from Merlijn van Deen:
Bugzilla sends e-mail in a format where =?UTF-8 is not preceded by whitespace.
This makes email.headerregistry.UnstructuredHeader (and
email._header_value_parser on the background) not recognise the structure.
import email.headerregistry, pprint
x = {}; email.headerregistry.UnstructuredHeader.parse('[Bug

ValueTerminal('russian'), WhiteSpaceTerminal(' '), ValueTerminal('text:'),
WhiteSpaceTerminal(' '), EncodedWord([WhiteSpaceTerminal(' '),
ValueTerminal('АБВГҐД')])])}
I have attached the raw e-mail as attachment.
Judging by the code, this is supposed to work (while raising a Defect --
missing whitespace before encoded word), but the code splits by whitespace:
tok, *remainder = _wsp_splitter(value, 1)
which swallows the encoded section in one go. In a second attachment, I added a
patch which 1) adds a test case for this and 2) implements a solution, but the
solution is unfortunately not in the style of the rest of the module.
In the meanwhile, I've chosen a monkey-patching approach to work around the
issue:
import email._header_value_parser, email.headerregistry
def get_unstructured(value):
value = value.replace(=?UTF-8?Q?=20, =?UTF-8?Q?)
return email._header_value_parser.get_unstructured(value)
email.headerregistry.UnstructuredHeader.value_parser =
staticmethod(get_unstructured)

[issue8387] use universal newline mode in csv module examples
Jessica McKellar added the comment: I realized that I typo'd 2 instead of 3 in http://bugs.python.org/issue8387#msg216888 which makes that message confusing. Here's a restatement of my findings: * All of the Python 3 csv examples work in Python 3 on all platforms. * The Python 2 binary-mode csv examples work in Python 2.7 on all platforms. * The Python 2 binary-mode csv examples error out on Windows and OSX when run under Python 3. We could do nothing to address this, or, if we determine that there's no negative impact to removing the 'b', update the examples to accommodate readers who are running Python 2 examples using Python 3 for whatever reason. Which does bring me to the same question as @pitrou, which is what data and code cause an error for @sfinnie on Python 2. :) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8387 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue17552] socket.sendfile()
Giampaolo Rodola' added the comment: New patch in attachment. Changes: - docs - replaced select() / poll() with the new selectors module - file position is always updated both on return and on error; this means file.tell() is the designated way to know how many bytes were sent - replaced sendall() with send() so that we can count the number of bytes transmitted (related and rejected proposal: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-April/027689.html) - send() now uses memoryview() for better performances to re-transmit data which was not sent by the first send() call - pre-emptively raise exception if file is not opened in binary mode - tests for ssl module I've tried to work on Windows TransmitFile support but I got stuck as I'm not sure how to convert a file object into a HANDLE in C. I suppose Windows support can also be added later as a separate ticket and in the meantime I'd like to push this forward. Open questions: - Is the current return value desirable (do we really care if os.sendfile() was used internally?)? Should the returned tuple also include the number transmitted bytes? - default blocksize: Charles-François was suggesting to remove the blocksize argument; FWIW I've made some quick benchmarks by using time cmdline utility with different blocksizes and I didn't notice substantial difference. I still think a blocksize parameter is necessary in case we fallback on using send() and also for consistency with ftplib's storbinary() method which will be involved later (issue 13564). -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34986/socket-sendfile3.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17552 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue18967] Find a less conflict prone approach to Misc/NEWS
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: A file per news entry seems a bit much, but an optional file per developer would solve most of the problem for those who have a problem with the status quo. Add a directory named, for instance, news.3.4.1. Put in a template with the allowed section headings. Call it something like aaTemplate.txt to sort first. To avoid merge conflicts due to entries for new features in default, quadruple space between headers so the only non-blank context would be the section header above. Developers like me who have a problem with the existing system could copy the file, rename it with their name (terry.reedy.txt, etc), hg add it, and use it for news entries (with extra blank lines to maintain the clean context. A script could be written to sync the working directory (pull and merge), move entries into NEWS (skipping over blank lines), recopy the template, commit and push. If I were working on non-Idle code issues, I would seriously consider doing the above with a private, non-repository file in /MISC that I might merge one a week or so. Someone objected to changes that result in news entries being out patch push order. This is already not a rule because the devguide mentions inserting new items at random positions to avoid conflicts due to another commit. Also, News items are frequently pushed sometime after the corresponding patch. I don't know if this is because people forget or because they want to isolate any hassle with a news conflict. In any case, the News entries are not necessarily time ordered now. From a user perspective, having library news items sorted by affected module, with code, doc, and test changes collected together, would generally be more useful. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18967 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

(just because it's an old-style class doesn't mean it won't work fine under 3.x) -- nosy: +benjamin.peterson, pitrou ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21231 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue20962] Rather modest chunk size in gzip.GzipFile

[issue21317] Home page certificate troubles
New submission from Dolda2000: This is misfiled under Documentation since it affects the documentation peripherally and I couldn't find any better component to file it under. To get to the point, the website seems to have certificate troubles for some URLs affecting the older versions of documentation. For instance, at this URL: https://docs.python.org/3.0/c-api/arg.html For me at least, it says 400 Bad Request // The SSL certificate error [sic] // nginx. I am also not allowed to access it over HTTP, since that just redirects me to the HTTPS version.

[issue21318] sdist fails with symbolic links do non-existing files
New submission from Jan Gosmann: If there is a symbolic link to a non-existing file anywhere in the source tree python setup.py sdist fails with an output like the following: running sdist running check warning: check: missing required meta-data: url error: abc: No such file or directory Pruning the problematic path with a MANIFEST.in file does not help. I could locate the culprit in filelist.py http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/c82dcad83438/Lib/distutils/filelist.py in line 267: stat = os.stat(fullname) fails for symlinks to non-existing files. Maybe os.lstat should be used? Or it should be checked before os.stat if it is a symlink to a nonexisting file? In case you wonder why I have links to non-existing files in my source tree: Those can be left behind by automated tests I'm using and are not supposed to be part of the source (or any other) distribution. But as I said, the error is not prevented by excluding them with a MANIFEST.in file. My current workaround is to delete all the leftovers from the test as first thing in setup.py. -- components: Distutils messages: 216930 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, jgosmann priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: sdist fails with symbolic links do non-existing files type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21318 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue18967] Find a less conflict prone approach to Misc/NEWS
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: On 4/20/2014 7:59 PM, Antoine Pitrou wrote: Antoine Pitrou added the comment: This is already not a rule because the devguide mentions inserting new items at random positions to avoid conflicts due to another commit. Really? New NEWS entries are customarily added at or near the top of their respective sections, so that entries within a section appear in approximate order from newest to oldest. However, this is customary and not a requirement. Random is too loose for what was actually committed and I will correct it. Further down in the same section: A nice trick to make Mercurial’s automatic file merge work more smoothly is to put a new entry after the first or first two entries rather than at the very top. This way if you commit, pull new changesets and merge, the merge will succeed automatically. In any case, the News entries are not necessarily time ordered now. IME, they mostly are. It's true it's not a requirement. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18967 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue18967] Find a less conflict prone approach to Misc/NEWS
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: For the recommendation actually put in the devguide, change 'random position' to 'position near but not at the top'. https://docs.python.org/devguide/committing.html#news-entries ends with A nice trick to make Mercurial’s automatic file merge work more smoothly is to put a new entry after the first or first two entries rather than at the very top. This way if you commit, pull new changesets and merge, the merge will succeed automatically. My main point was that the devguide a) recognizes that there is an issue and b) does not require strict date order. Merging items into the NEWS on a daily basis would keep approximate time order. Hourly merges would do even better. This recommendation, however, is not very effective. It only only avoids conflict with another patch if the other person does not use the 'nice trick' but puts the news entry at the top. Unless one looks carefully, it does not help the problen of merging maintenance bugfix items into a default list that also contains enhancement news not in the maintenance list*. In fact, blindly putting an item between two news items rather than a header and one news item makes that conflict more likely. * There have been times, like last Jan-Feb, when default only items dominated the default news list. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue18967 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue21319] WindowsRegistryFinder never added to sys.meta_path
New submission from Eric Snow: For #14578 we added WindowsRegistryFinder to importlib and try adding it to sys.meta_path during bootstrap (see bd58c421057c). I happened to notice that in _install() in Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py we check os.__name__. Shouldn't it be os.name? os.__name__ is always going to be os! p.s.
